Abstract
A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines is arranged for the injection of a quantity of additive between a preinjection quantity and a main injection quantity of the fuel, in order to favorably affect running smoothness and the course of combustion. To assure replicable separation of the quantity of additive from the preinjection quantity and the main injection quantity, the injection nozzle has an intermediate chamber for the liquid additive, located in a nozzle body between a pressure chamber and an antechamber for the main fuel. Throttle gaps separate the intermediate chamber for the antechamber and from the pressure chamber in the closing direction of the valve needle, when a quantity of additive is pumped into the intermediate chamber, the additive positively displaces the main fuel into the pressure chamber. The additive is pumped into the intermediate chamber through an axial inlet conduit and radial bores in the nozzle needle.
